Using updater version 1.0.2.7, and it looks like it is using the \"fix\" listed at the begining of this thread.

I am getting between 2 and 7 KB/s on a dsl connection that normally dl\'s at 180+ KB/s.

Ah, feels like the good ol\' days of dialup  

Edit:  AUGHHH!  I just came back to check the updater....
I am on trepor.cal3d  supposedly a 2kb file and supposedly downloading at 6kb/s...and it is goin on over two minutes to get this thing.   4 seconds to get 1% point on the download.
